What it’s like
The place. Teague is a small city in Freestone County, Texas, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Households here are younger than in many small Texas towns, and incomes sit a little above the county's, though a noticeable share of residents live below the poverty line. Typical home values are moderate, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with August the warmest month. Rain and melted snow come to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in transport, warehouses and utilities, professional and business services, and other services. Across Freestone County, some of the largest workplaces are Fairfield ISD, TIC - The Industrial Company and Teague ISD. Unemployment in the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year. The usual trip to work is a moderate drive, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Fort Parker State Park and Fairfield Lake State Park are both protected areas a longer drive away. Lake Limestone, a reservoir also a longer drive away, is another option for time on the water. Each of these takes a bit of planning rather than a quick trip across town.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
